The Peacemaker (ENGLISH)

The Peacemaker (Hans Zimmer). The Peacemaker was a soundtrack almost relegated to the ostracism for include only 5 themes, which, at the first sight, was giving the sensation of being a very succinct and careless edition, though the final length of 54 minutes of the soundtrack enter inside an acceptable range, leaving an uncomfortable average of almost 11 minutes for theme. And it is that the influence in the film music of the following years is important enough, since it set the base of the Zimmer’s sound for action films of the 90s, which before had initiated The Rock, Broken Arrow and Crimson Tide. And the importance is such that this sound turned into one of the strongest influences for the film scoring of action movies from middle 90s forward, and that so much has tried to imitate, especially by the Zimmer’s pupils directly formed in the old Media Ventures.

The expanded edition of The Peacemaker includes the extended score, besides the themes of the original album in complete form (something that, theoretically, should not be produced if this one is an expanded edition of the previous one and, therefore, that already contains the tracks of the original album in one or other form) and the trailer theme, something that should be done more frequently, especially if the music has been explicitly composed for the same one.

The final mixing of themes, combining some with others in longer tracks, might have got improved, as there was doing the bootleg that was circulating by years through the net, and it had been specially necessary in Dr. Kelly Is O.K. / Dr. Kelly Got 10 More, separating the final theme to allow its hearing separately due that it is the main melody of The Peacemaker. In any case, this is one of the obligatory albums for the fans of Hans Zimmer.
